Many of Ian Fleming’s short stories have been the inspiration for the extremely successful James Bond film franchise, and included in this collection are “For Your Eyes Only,” “Octopussy,” “The Property of a Lady,” “The Living Daylights,” “Risico,” “The Hildebrand Rarity,” and “007 in New York.”
"Master criminals, beautiful damsels in distress, and plenty of action — essentially everything fans have come to associate with 007...Fun reads — great beach books — and the character is still immensely popular on screen, so these are well worth having."
